    This is a wonderful KEXP set by the only living member of the legendary Big Star, Jody Stephens and a selection of musicians from bands that were hugely influenced by them and the Seattle Rock Orchestra....

    I challenge you to watch this wonderfully joyous performance without smiling. It was recorded in the same year that they both starred in Tommy and after I'd seen her in that for the first time I had a real older woman crush on Ann-Margret!...:emoticon-0125-mmm::emoticon-0152-heart

    Yesterday Radio 3 RTE had a tribute to celebrate Donald ***en's 75th birthday. Here is the link to the podcast and other podcasts broadcast on the same day in previous weeks. Brilliant to listen for anyone who is/was a fan of Steely Dan, Donald ***en in particular and high quality music in general, and also useful for those who are interested in improving their level of understanding spoken Spanish. Therefore a double reason to listen to this podcast.

    I might add the presenter talks to his audience as if they have a certain intellectual level.

    My favourite track off of his excellent debut solo album, The Nightfly It effortlessly transports you to the era about when I was born, the early sixties..

    Oh no!
    One of my earliest memories of Jeff was this classic. He was scraping the barrel with the session men mind:


    RIP Jeff <rose>

    It is shocking to think that most of today's youngsters would find this music too much of a challenge to listen to yet it would have once been considered to be "Popular."

    The James Taylor Quartet - Be My Girl - YouTube

    I heard this track the other day on Radio Tres's tribute to British Soul. I dare say some on here have seen this group. I saw them at the Southsea Pyramids in about 1995. This particular track reminds me of the output from the Small Faces, Brian Augur, Booker T and Blur, although as this predates Blur perhaps Blur were influenced by the JTQ. These guys were at the forefront of Jazz Funk/Acid Jazz back in the day.

    I've loved The Byrds sound ever since I can remember and their vocal harmonies are a massive part of that and I would say that David Crosby is up there with The Everly Brothers and The Beach Boys as a harmoniser plus they pioneered Folk Rock and Psychedelic Rock so are hugely important in music history.
    He was a big part of the counter culture in the 60's

    Here's a great song he penned that never even made the album cut such is their quality.



    Here's another favourite of mine from his time in CSN
